EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Mobix Labs, Inc. (“Issuer”), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed on January 2, 2024 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D as amended from time to time.

 

The Explanatory Note in the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

 

On April 25, 2024, the Sponsor (as defined in Item 2) distributed 922,182 shares of Class A Common Stock to its members (the “Founder Shares Distribution”), and each such member signed a joinder to the Founder Share Lock-Up, which is described in Item 6 to the Original Schedule 13D. As a result of such distribution, Dr. Ma beneficially owns 724,600 of such shares of Class A Common Stock, which are directly held by Chavant Family Office.

 

On April 26, 2024, the Sponsor distributed the 471,919 PIPE Shares it held to its members (the “PIPE Shares Distribution” and, together with the Founder Shares Distribution, the “Distributions”). As a result of such distribution, Dr. Ma beneficially owns 71,358 of such shares of Class A Common Stock, which are directly held by Chavant Family Office. Following this distribution, the Sponsor no longer holds any shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a)-(b) Each of the following is hereinafter individually referred to as a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, as the “Reporting Persons.” This statement is filed on behalf of:

 

●

	●	Chavant Family Office LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Chavant Family Office”); and
	●	Dr. Jiong Ma, a United States citizen.

 

The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 445 Park Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

 

(c) The principal business of Chavant Capital was to advise and support Chavant in identifying and acquiring an emerging private technology business in connection with its initial business combination, which it completed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination with Mobix Labs. The principal business of Chavant Family Office is to invest in Chavant Capital, to hold any property distributed by Chavant Capital and to engage in any other lawful business as determined by its manager. The principal occupation of Dr. Ma is serving as a public company director and venture capital investor.

 

(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f) See Item 2(a)-(b) above for citizenship or place of organization, as applicable, of each of the Reporting Persons.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

 

The information set forth in the Explanatory Note to the Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

The information in the Explanatory Note to the Schedule 13D and Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired their interest in the Issuer for investment purposes and in connection with the transactions described above and review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Founder Share Lock-Up (described in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D), the Issuer’s financial position, results of operations, price levels of the Class A Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take or propose to take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, acquiring additional shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities of or interests in the Issuer) or disposing of all or a portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities of or interests in the Issuer) beneficially owned in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and potentially entering into derivative or other transactions that increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ economic interest in or control over the Issuer.

 

On January 22, 2024, Dr. Ma resigned from the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as a director, effective January 22, 2024, as described further in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 23, 2024.

 

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although, subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management or the Board of the Issuer with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5(a) – (c) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) and (b) Calculation of the percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned is based on 23,591,830 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of March 28, 2024, as reported by the Issuer in its Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024, and taking into account the Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as applicable.

 

The aggregate number and percentage of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Chavant Family Office is the record holder of 795,958 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,241,552 Warrants. Dr. Ma is the sole member of Chavant Family Office and has voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held of record by Chavant Family Office.

 

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 1 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the shares of Class A Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

 

(c) Other than as disclosed in the Explanatory Note, there have been no transactions in Class A Common Stock by the Reporting Persons in the past 60 days.

 

(e) Following the Distributions, the Sponsor is no longer a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

 

On January 23, 2024, the Issuer issued a notice to holders of its Warrants, notifying holders of, among other things, the adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants from $11.50 per share to $5.79 per share of Class A Common Stock, effective after the close of trading on January 4, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated July 19, 2021, by and among the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, as amended December 21, 2023, as described further in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 23, 2024.
